Dunkin' Donuts to Celebrate National Coffee Day Sept. 29

By LIZ TAURASI (Patch Staff)

Dunkin’ Donuts last week unveiled a new addition to its espresso beverage lineup, adding Macchiato to its menu with the introduction of the new Pumpkin Macchiato.

The announcement comes one year after the launch of its Dark Roast brand and a week before National Coffee Day on Sept. 29 when customers in Wilmington and across the country can receive a free medium cup of Dunkin’ Donuts hot or iced Dark Roast Coffee.

The Pumpkin Macchiato will be available hot or iced and will be available nationwide by Sept. 28.

For National Coffee Day on Tuesday, Sept. 29, Dunkin’ Donuts is celebrating the 1-year anniversary of Dark Roast with a special free offer: guests can walk into any participating Dunkin’ Donuts restaurant across the country and receive a free medium cup of Dunkin’ Donuts hot or iced Dark Roast Coffee, with a limit of one per guest.

Wakefield has two Dunkin Donuts locations, one on North Avenue and one on Main Street.

Another special Dark Roast offer for members of the DD Perks® Rewards Program. Through Sept. 27, DD Perks® members can purchase any size hot or iced Dark Roast for only 99 cents, when they pay using their enrolled DD Card.

“As we’ve continued our steady and strategic growth, we’ve had great success expanding our coffee platforms with innovative additions such as Dark Roast Coffee and new flavors for guests to personalize their favorite coffee beverage,” said Chris Fuqua, vice president, Dunkin’ Donuts Brand Marketing & Global Consumer Insights & Product Innovation, in a statement released this week. Macchiato, our newest handcrafted espresso beverage, provides our guests with yet another exciting coffee choice to enjoy any time of day. We look forward to welcoming the start of fall with the new Pumpkin Macchiato, and celebrating National Coffee Day by inviting all of our guests to have a free medium hot or iced Dark Roast Coffee.”
